In the Norwegian language there are two sayings describing the performative and forward leaning aspect of radio broadcasting; To take the air and To be on air. We were kids in a time with only one national radio channel - and when we later took the opportunity to include radio as part of our art practice we explored the medium in different ways, from the FM technology of last century to the multi channeled digital communication universe of today. How did we change with it, and what does it mean to enter the public air with art?
Færøy/Jørgensen is currently working on the Live Radio production Between humans and animals in Bergen to be broadcast on Latent City November 29.

Yngvild Færøy & Søssa Jørgensen Are educated at the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art, in the mid 90´ties. After graduating they became founding partners of the sound art collective BallongMagasinet (1996 - 2006), starting off at the Oslo feminist radiOrakel, Færøy and Jørgensen became vital contributors to the emerging Nordic sound art scene of the 90's, initiating sound and radio productions involving artists, composers, writers etc.
The last years working as a duo, they have worked in formats such as radio programs, podcasts, and live radio happenings, all based on their interests regarding human coexistence. Their work often evolves from meeting people in their environment, and processing this into impressionistic portraits and documentary collages composed using voices and concrete sound.
